BISD targets financial help

The Boerne Independent School District trustees added a fifth item to its list of legislative priorities earlier this month after a pair of retired teachers encouraged them to fight for a rare cost of living adjustment.

During the August board meeting, trustees discussed and approved the list of priorities that target the 88^th legislative session scheduled for next year.

“The state is in pretty good shape,” board President Rich Sena said during the meeting, adding the state comptroller’s office is predicting a $27 billion surplus in the 2022-23 budget.
